6/19/2012· There is no single rare earth element market. Instead, the rare earth universe is made up of four or five distinct "critical rare earth" markets that should be the focus for investors today.

Rare earth elements (REE) are a group of 15 elements referred to as the lanthanide series in the periodic table. Scandium and yttrium, while not true REE, are also included in this categorization because they exhibit similar properties to the lanthanides and are always found in the same ore bodies.

Neodymium

A rare-earth element (REE) or rare-earth metal (REM), as defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, is one of a set of seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table, specifically the fifteen lanthanides, as well as scandium and yttrium. Scandium and yttrium are considered rare-earth elements because they tend to occur in the same ore deposits as the lanthanides and ...
